One said there has never been in his lifetime a bigger push by democrats to make owning a gun illegal. Then he got on impeachment. The democrats aren't doing anything because all they have thought about for 2 or 3 years is impeaching trump. By the time he got to liberals who won't let him spank his children and what a c&nt Pelosi is, I gave up him. Of course all these republicans he votes for have made his life oh so much better. Like by gutting workers compensation laws and making his state right to work, which has eviscerated some union's ability to effectively negotiate decent contracts or have enough boots on the ground to see that the contracts they do have are effectively enforced. Or by endless trade wars that have made the cost of doing business so much more expensive and negatively impacts his employer's ability to compete.

    I read an interesting quote in an article by Joe Posnanski in The Athletic about Marvin Miller, the deceased head of the Major League Baseball Player's Association, and his prospects of being enshrined in the Hall Of Fame. The article noted Miller said "Fans don’t seem to understand that the largest pocketbook issue that faces them is the tax money being used for essentially free stadiums for wealthy owners. That’s hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in cities where schools are crumbling and highways and bridges need repair. It amazes me. Fans don’t complain about the real issues. Mostly, they don’t even understand them." This is the sad truth about the way millions upon millions of voters view the issues. They understand next to nothing. Every scrap of data, reasonable evidence, and just their day-to-day situation should show people that republicans are not the friends of about 90% of America. Maybe even 95%. It is SHOCKING how stupid so many people are.
    Doesn't matter since those stadiums get forced through anyways. See: The People's Stadium, I mean, US Bank Stadium.

      My point was, as was Miller's, is that even with overwhelming and incontrovertible evidence in front of them, most people are just not smart to understand the issues. We probably won't become Nazi Germany overnight if republicans were for some bizarre reason to do well next November but if they do, I think they will cement into place the mechanisms needed to make it happen down the road when the timing is right.

        My point is, even WHEN they are smart enough, it doesn't matter because they aren't rich and in power.

            Trumps presence continues to kill the home team. Also:

            JUST IN: The "Baby Trump" balloon that President Trump's critics have used at protests around the world was slashed at a demonstration near the Alabama-LSU football game, which Trump attended Saturday.

                  Do people actually spend money on ridiculously obnoxious clothing and accessories for political rallies?

                  On an unrelated note, some guy in my apartment complex is apparently running in the Democratic primary for our congressional district.

                    I don't spend money or wear them at rallies, but I have campaign hats, shirts, stickers and buttons I've collected over the years. Nothing that obnoxious though.

                          Fox and NBC did a lot of water carrying for the President this morning. NBC's Chuck Todd has sold out.

                              Chuck Todd sold out years ago. He had like 1 show 2 months ago where he pretended to be legit but nothing else. His Corporate Masters love him bit no one else does.
